That's all I did. Include all schematics in gsch2pcb, name the signals differently for the two sides of the connector. If you accidentally leave a signal named the same, you get a rat crossing the boundary. Note that this may not work for you if you have things like GND or VDD, because those will be the same on both boards :-( I suppose if you *did* have the nets the same, as long as the closest points between boards *are* the connectors, you can use a spare copper layer to connect the connectors together (assuming they're through-hole). Any remaining rats would then be connections that don't have connector pins. It would be interesting to ponder the idea of PCB knowing that two connectors will be "connected" in real life, and letting the path following go through them. _______________________________________________ geda-user mailing list [email protected] http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user
